Trim the sails, batten down the hatches, and walk the planks – the first major DLC add-on for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has been announced, and it’s YAAAARRRR ARRRGGHHH SCUPPER ME SIDEWAYS IT’S CAPTAIN PIRATE AND THE PIRATES.

Well, more specifically it’s the dread pirate Dead Kel and his gang of Hanged Men, come back to terrorise the lands and steal their rum. According to the official press blurb, you’ll…

EMBARK! On a journey to the distant island of Gallows End with the eccentric Captain Brattigan in an adventure that will uncover a secret so great that it has incited wars and toppled kingdoms. DISCOVER! Powerful new weapons and Twist of Fate Cards and use them to conquer the island’s unique inhabitants. BECOME! The Lord of Gravehal Keep and lay claim to this once great fort that stands upon the edge of a cliff in the most expansive player housing option yet.

I added the capital letters because it sounds way more dramatic and adventuresome like that.

The DLC, The Legend of Dead Kel, drops on 20 March for Xbox, PS3, and PC, and is tagged at 800 MSP / $9.00 / your local currency exchange rate in pieces o’ eight.
